On a Sunday at Eleven

Sonntags um Elf

Seven-year-old Angel performs her Sunday rituals. She goes to a make-up store teeming with products that promote Eurocentric beauty and then attends ballet class where she stands out as the only Black girl. Feeling excluded, she escapes into a dream world in which the Black women in her life dance around her as ballerinas with elaborate Black hairstyles. Angel is embraced by the elders in her church community, a place where she always feels loved and accepted. The film is an unapologetic celebration of Black hair and the powerful ancestral bond embedded in Black women that transcends the physical world.
